This compact 30 test/hour analyser is designed for daily use in labs with low throughput and offers all the qualities of a 60 test/hour instrument at an aff ordable cost. The COUNTENDER 30 features 20 parameters, 3 histograms and excellent CVs. It outclasses most 60 tests/hour analysers in terms of performance and quality of results and is top of its category, providing results in under 2mins. It also features very low reagent consumption. Combining simplified maintenance and long shelf-life of the company’s reagents (up to 36 months), the blood cell counter has low servicing requirements and enables signifi cant cost per test reduction for labs.

Rapid, simultaneous detection of respiratory pathogens

The Respiratory Multiplex Array is intended for the simultaneous detection of 22 bacterial and viral respiratory pathogens in individuals suspected of Respiratory Tract Infections.  The ability to simultaneously detect these in one sample provides clinicians with a complete patient profile, enabling faster and more appropriate treatment decisions. 

The Respiratory Multiplex Array is based on a combination of multiplex PCR, biochip hybridization and chemiluminescence detection using the Evidence Investigator analyser.  The array can run 54 samples simultaneously in five hours.  Identifying multiple pathogens will provide a rapid and more cost-effective diagnostic tool than current methods – which only look for single pathogens – thus reducing the time from presentation to treatment and minimizing sample requirements.   Save time and costs associated with single pathogen detection by using the Respiratory Multiplex Array.

The BA400 clinical chemistry and turbidimetry analyser offers excellent performance to laboratories looking towards achieving highest efficiency with optimal operative cost. It has been designed to provide high operating autonomy, through its high capacity for samples (135; 90 with direct barcode reading) and reagents (88 positions) and capability to operate up to 9 hours of continuous working without refilling/voiding the system’s reservoirs. The BA400 incorporates proprietary LED technology for the optical system, with virtually no maintenance and without optical interferences. It uses a battery of high power LED monochromatic sources with 8 working wavelengths covering the most demanding methods of routine and specific chemistry. Maintenance is simplified using distributed electronics through CAN (Controller Area Network) bus system, thus significantly optimizing performance and reducing down times; low mechanical wear dispensing pumps with ceramic piston are capable of operating up to 5 millions cycles. The analyser is also equipped with an independent powered reagents cooling system to ensure on board stability

Legionella pneumophila is responsible for at least two diseases in humans: Legionnaires’ disease, which is a severe form of pneumonia, clinically indistinguishable from other types of bacterial pneumonia, and Pontiac fever which is a flu-like illness. Legionella pneumophila is often associated with systemic manifestations and is responsible for up to 10% of hospitalized pneumonia cases acquired in the community. Statens Serum Institut has developed Immuview® Legionella Blood Test which is a lateral flow test for identification of IgM against Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 and 3. It has been developed as a test primarily for patients with severe pneumonia; who have travelled abroad or been in areas with outbreak of Legionella; who have had indications of Legionella in a urine test; who have caught pneumonia when hospitalized. The Immuview® Legionella Blood test makes it possible to identify IgM antibodies against Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 and 3 early in the course of the illness, and at the stage when the patient is normally admitted to the hospital. The test contains Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 and 3 antigens, which have been applied to a lateral flow membrane. The test is simple to use and shows a result within 20 minutes. A drop of blood is added to the sample port, and a minute later four drops of running buffer is added to the buffer addition port. After 20 minutes the result can be read. ImmuView™ Legionella Blood Test is sold in kits of 10 or 50 tests including buffer, a positive control, and a score card for semi quantitative measuring.
